The isothermal compressibility is given as___________(a) Same as isentropic compressibility(b) \(\frac {1}{p}\)(c) \(\frac {1}{\gamma p}\)(d) \(\frac {\rho }{p}\)This question was addressed to me in exam.I need to ask this question from The Basic Normal Shock Equations topic in section Normal Shock Waves of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (B) \(\FRAC {1}{p}\)

The explanation is: The isothermal compressibility differs from the isentropic compressibility by a factor of gamma. The isothermal compressibility is GIVEN as τt=\(\frac {1}{p}\) while the isentropic compressibility is given as τs=\(\frac {1}{\gamma p}\).
